CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE DESIGN
Everything that happens before everything that needs to happen
STRATEGY
Before a line of ink is drawn or code is written, you must define the experience. I'll help you build a customer journey map, outline the real-world problems that need to be solved, and create framework for designing the solution.
DESIGNI help to guide designers and developers through the process of bringing an experience to life. Keeping execution true to your vision, I help align multidisciplinary teams around a coherent vision, ensuring that your solution remains customer-centered.
EVALUATIONIf you don't test your design before you launch, the market will test it for you after. I help expose design and strategy to the cold, hard light of reality: testing with real customers, expertly conducted to help you understand & respond intelligently to feedback.
